If you have any activities that involve placing fill material in wetlands, describe the material that would be used, including the type, source, and amount of material (for example: three cubic yards of dirt from the upland staging area). Indicate where and how it will be placed in the wetland (for example: fill placed in the western edge using a backhoe).
Definition(s):
· Cubic Yards: A measure of volume calculated by measuring length by width by depth (one yard x one yard x one yard). One cubic yard = 27 cubic feet.
· Fill Material: Any material that will change the bottom elevation of an aquatic area, wetland or waterbody.
· Nature of the Fill Material: What the fill material is made of (for example: rocks, sand, soil, or woody debris).
· Wetland: An area that is inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances does support, a prevalence of vegetation adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas.
